He does not and never will advocate for blacks. I am sick of the racist condescenion of so many bi-racial people. They are taught and are constantly spouting their uniqueness or how special they are because they have the best of both worlds nonsense. This is racist master race type talk no matter how you dress it up.

Nothing, cute catch all words.<BR/><BR/>Will Obama sell his very eternal Soul for the white house? Then what type of man is this?<BR/><BR/>Anyone that runs for president is an hyper egotist, but I still love Queen Cynthia Mac, egotist or not. Her possible egotism does has not removed her from the people. I live in the ATL, and I have seen her work, I have attended her rallies and I have seen how this Queen operates, without fear. Obama is the perfect marketing package, period.Amentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876681992868014576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410230886978718576.post-76764732094647076212008-05-02T11:54:00.000-07:002008-05-02T11:54:00.000-07:00Preach it!Damn u been rumbling around in my head h...Preach it!<BR/><BR/>Damn u been rumbling around in my head huh?

I grew up in Chicago & I'm familiar with the local politics there. I have distrusted & disliked He Who Shall Not Be Named from the very beginning of his career in the Illinois state legislature.<BR/><BR/>What bothered me from the beginning is his not having paid any dues in terms of civil rights work. I don't trust Black people who's "activism" & "community organizing" only pertains to issues that won't really upset Whites. Especially in the context of the racist & polarized local politics in Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Anyone calling himself a Black community organizer who's never done anything that really pissed off racist White folks is suspect.<BR/>That sort of thing is resume-padding, faux activism.<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings & solidarity.Khadijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732325133964607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410230886978718576.post-55249888978596153182008-05-02T02:08:00.000-07:002008-05-02T02:08:00.000-07:00Wow....that post gives me something to think about...Wow....that post gives me something to think about. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I want to immediately protest it and say that you're wrong....but you could be right. The only caveat I'd add though is that there are people out to derail his candidacy and so it seems if some major players are in opposition that it might mean there's some good...but I don't know. He does seem to really think that 'we can bridge' or it could be that he wants to eagerly co-opt to white people. Being married to Michelle threw me off admittedly because I think she is fierce and....a 'real' sister. I have a sinking feeling that you are in fact correct in your analysis.
